Mrs D was frail and unwell. Her son was her main carer, but he wasn’t coping. We stepped in to help, but they were hostile to outside agencies. They’d always lived together and were terrified they’d be split up. Our social worker did a great job persuading Mrs D to get hospital treatment and a temporary stay in a care home. In an epic effort throughout COVID, she gained the son’s trust and sorted all the repairs, carers and nurses needed so that Mrs D could come home to live with her son. We also got Mr D regular respite and a personal budget awarded in recognition of him as her carer. After all, there’s nothing more important than living the life you want. The Role: As a Social Worker with our Hospital Discharge Team you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Based in St Mary’s Hospital and operating across the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council, you’ll work closely with health colleagues within an acute setting, and be an active member of a ward multi-disciplinary team. Undertaking assessments of need and developing support plans that help patients with their discharge from hospital, you’ll also undertake safeguarding investigations and Mental Capacity Act assessments, and work with carers and other professionals to minimise and manage risk while helping each patient to maintain their chosen lifestyle.
